The costs above don't include things like pollution clean up and defense against sea-level rise. I also see no mention of subsidies in any form in the above.

As far as timelines, again wind is available now. I could live with nuclear, but there's no new nuclear plants being built. It doesn't look like there's any chance of a new one being built. It's not money (well, it is a little), it's politics. Anyone suggesting nuclear plants right now is dead meat.

A wind farm can be put up in months to a year. Plus it can start generating electricity as soon as the first turbine goes up. Only solar and wind can do that. All the others have to be completely built first.

Anyway, there's a lot to support it. Cost, no pollution, no fuel, etc. OK, there's some pollution during manufacturing, but there's some pollution when building an iphone too, no one is complaining about that. At least one company claims to have designed a more efficient turbine with permanent magnets, but I haven't seen test data for it, so I wouldn't put money either way.
